You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 1.5 CEs | $25.00\nSomatic psychotherapies rest on the understanding that the body holds important keys to healing trauma\, stress\, and emotional distress. This continuing education workshop will introduce psychotherapists to some of the most widely practiced somatic approaches (including Somatic Experiencing\, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy\, EMDR\, Brainspotting\, Hakomi Method\, and Emotional Freedom Technique). \nParticipants will gain a foundational understanding of how these methods view the mind-body connection\, the role of bodily sensations in emotional regulation\, and the ways somatic awareness can deepen therapeutic work. \nThe goal of this training is to provide a broad overview so clinicians can compare approaches and make informed decisions about which somatic modalities align with their interests\, client needs\, and practice settings. Participants will leave with a clearer map of the somatic therapy landscape and concrete ideas for integrating body-oriented awareness into their current clinical work. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDevelop an understanding of the core principles shared across somatic psychotherapies.\nGain introductory knowledge of several popular approaches (e.g.\, Somatic Experiencing\, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy\, EMDR\, Brainspotting\, EFT).\nCompare and contrast the theoretical foundations\, methods\, and applications of different somatic modalities.\nLearn practical entry-point strategies for incorporating body awareness and regulation techniques into therapy sessions.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Therapists Who Astrologize: An Introduction to Astrology-Assisted Therapy (AAT) 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nLaw & Ethics\, Health Equity\, and/or Cultural Competence CEs\nTherapists Who Astrologize: An Introduction to Astrology-Assisted Therapy (AAT)\nPresented by: Jenae D. Thompson\, PhD\, LCPC\nWhen: Friday\, August 21st\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom (you’ll receive the link the week of the workshop)\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs – counts as 2 Law & Ethics CEs\, 2 Health Equity or Cultural Competency CEs\, and 2 General CEs | Cost: $199.00\nThis workshop is also offered on Friday\, November 20th. For more information and to register\, click here.\nThis beginner-level continuing education workshop introduces mental health professionals to the foundations of Astrology-Assisted Therapy (AAT)\, an integrative clinical framework that incorporates astrological symbolism into therapeutic practice with structure\, discernment\, and ethical clarity. \nDesigned for therapists with no prior astrology experience\, this workshop offers a grounded and clinically responsible introduction to core astrological concepts and their application in psychotherapy. \nParticipants will learn the foundational components of a natal chart – including planets\, signs\, houses\, and aspects – through a psychological and symbolic lens. Rather than prediction\, the focus is on meaning-making\, narrative identity\, relational patterns\, and insight development. Astrology is presented as a structured symbolic language that can support depth-oriented exploration when used collaboratively and with client consent. \nDrawing from qualitative research conducted with licensed clinicians who integrate astrology into therapy\, this training explores clinical indications\, contraindications\, informed consent processes\, scope of practice\, and cultural humility. Participants will examine how astrology can function as a reflective tool that enhances therapeutic alliance\, supports client agency\, and facilitates nuanced conversations about identity and life transitions. \nThis workshop emphasizes ethical integration\, client autonomy\, and practitioner self-awareness. Astrology-Assisted Therapy is presented as a coherent symbolic modality that can be integrated within existing therapeutic orientations to expand conceptualization and deepen relational work. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify foundational astrological structures\nConceptualize astrology as a structured symbolic framework\nApply ethical guidelines for integrating astrology into clinical practice\nDiscern appropriate clinical contexts for AAT use\n\nThis continuing education workshop is ideal for clinicians seeking to expand their use of spiritually integrative\, culturally responsive\, and symbolically informed approaches within professional practice. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
